(Country Christmas, Rosemary Grapefruit, Minted Melon, Spiced Cranberry, Lavender Bergamot to name a few). They burn clean (good for you & the environment) and last longer than cheap paraffin candles. Stop by and have a sniff!

More beautiful work by our local woodworker, Jack. These trivets are made from local cherry wood. The maple leaf is a stencil made from an actual leaf that Jack found while cleaning his boat.... and it was 'perfect'. The trivet is for placing your hot teapot or other pots on but it's so beautiful you might want to display it in between uses! A gift like this supports a local artisan and up-cycles material. This is a perfect gift for someone that 'has everything'.

Local woodworker, Jack Harvey, is a long time Lyndhurst resident.  He turns these bowls from wood he collects in Lyndhurst. Can't get more local than that!  Jack tells me he finds it theraputic to take a raw peice of wood and turn it into a bowl.  Once you see these beautiful bowls, I'm sure you will want to support Jack's therapy and take one home.  They are food safe and make a great gift.  We also have a few of Jack's inukshuk wood trivets available.
